"Consumers from different countries showed a similar use profile when roaming, revealing a 'core' level of usage that is resistant to high prices."

This report analyses real-world smartphone usage data to answer questions regarding consumer behaviour while roaming. The strong differences in the pricing of mobile connectivity, and the availability and quality of Wi-Fi connectivity limited the possibilities of smartphone usage in times when consumers were in greater need of connectivity. The report analyses how consumers responded to this scarcity of connectivity, uncovering mobile data monetisation opportunities.

This report answers the following questions:

Which networks are used for which apps and services, and to what degree?

Is legacy to OTT communication substitution accelerated when roaming? By what margin?

Are there unexplored monetisation opportunities for operators?
